Greg Egan's 1994 Permutation City actually depicts Malaysia using cloud compute to model cyclones and mitigate them with weather manipulation

Spot on bringing up Permutation City! It's wild to see 90s sci-fi weather mitigation slowly turning into real-world policy in Southeast Asia.

Living and working around Komodo National Park (based out of Bajo), stories like this hit very close to me.
